Waymo is similar to a self-driving Uber. Though it was a bit eerie getting in a car that didn't have a driver, I was really impressed by the safety and convenience of the process. The way it works is using an app (similar to Uber), you summon a car and enter your destination. Once the car picks you up, you put on your seatbelt and press go on the screen.... Full story

Here’s a sampling of Bidenomics: what President Biden has actually done for lower and middle income citizens. 1. Signed the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021: this provided direct financial relief to many lower and middle income families. 2. Expanded the Child Tax Credit in 2021 so it reached more low-income families and increased the amount to up to $3,600 per c... Full story

And there were human beings there? And you could go up to them with a bill or letter in your hand and show it to them and ask things like, “What does this mean?” Or “Why was I charged for this?” Or “I had canceled this service months ago, so please stop charging me.” And most of the time, the human behind the counter would say things like...
